The closest LHBS to me is in the process of closing down. They were still 45 minutes away. I try to use local as much as possible, I tried AHS and what should have been shipped by now is still pending. Ordered on Sunday the 8th. My Morebeer order placed on the same day is in Ft Worth now. I will...

Devil's Backbone from Real Ale in Blanco Texas. It's not only the name of a great beer but also a great motorcycle road around Blanco Texas.

I tried to get some supplies for National Homebrew day from the LHBS I used in the Houston area Saturday. They were closed, I thought for the day, but turns out they are shuttering for good. Hoppin Grapes in Webster, Texas. Their FB post indicates they are negotiating with someone who will open...

Glad I found this thread. I'm returning to brewing after a hiatus from divorces, and moves. I attempted a few BIAB all-grain last year in smaller sizes. 2-3 gallon batches. I wanted to brew indoors as this Texas Heat is a err, killer. My stove couldn't boil the wort well enough and I ended up...

I'm in. Another reason to brew more.

Pick me!! I'm in.

Still air, your system had flowing air, which is a conductor. Air is an insulator if it is static and not flowing into and out of the system.

Ph is the scale from 0-14 we measure how acidic or alkaline (sometimes referred to as basic) a solution is. Ph less than 7 are acidic, Ph above 7 are alkaline. Alkalinity refers to the ability of a solution to resist acidification or the buffering ability of the solution.

True air space is an insulator. But you dropped 7 degrees in 32 minutes. My towels dropped zero over an hour. Something is up with your setup. Simple wrap it with towels and make a cap. You won't have to deal with anything else. But part of the fun in brewing is making your equipment. So brew as...

I wrap the kettle in thick towels, two around the kettle and one over the top. I also make an aluminum foil cap, using the lid as a template, and push it down to the level of the grains to reduce heat loss due to headspace. It held without a single degree drop over 60 minutes. Granted I live on...

I just did my first Revvy bottling batch today. I did not do the spigot mod because after cutting down the PVC elbow there was some black gunk on the lip of the uncut end of the PVC. A soak in oxyiclean did nothing, wiping it with an adhesive removal pad also didn't work, nor did a hot water...

I used a Wilserbag for my last brew. Mine came with a rope strap, I know there's a proper name for it, my memory fails me at the moment. I used it to hoist the bag. To solve the sparging issue, I am going to get an 18" bbq grate and lay it over the kettle after I pull the bag out. Set the bag on...

Not open on a Saturday evening. Which I understand. I sent an email to them. It doesn't help my brew day scheduled for today. There's no real way to make it right in time for tomorrow. I could have gone to the hardware store and purchased the hardware needed. The bearing is another story.

I purchased a Mult Muncher 3 mill from MoreBeer a week ago. I'm aware of the lack of assembly instructions for the mill. I have no hardware to bolt the hopper together. Also, one of the races on the plate isn't flush. I noticed that the holes in the plate that attach the hopper to the roller...

I am not at the moment. For the moment I'm relying on the LHBS for the recipes. I did double-check the numbers on the BIAB Calculator. BIAB calculator is a no-sparge calculation website. I have longhand checked the Brewhouse efficiency off of the expected SG from the LHBS. I'll check out...

Second Brew under the belt. Whipped up a batch of Scottish Ale on Sunday. This time I started even later. Close to 7 pm. I was showered and in bed before 11 pm. If nothing these late starts are encouraging a brewing day that utilizes my time in the most efficient way. As to my brewhouse...

It seems I severely undershot my mash volume. The online BIAB calculator shows 4.28 gallon inital mash volume. I'm assuming that's a no sparge method. I was 1.75 gallons under that.
